normally this comment would sort of annoy me,

but its not obvious what the point of this story actually is

------

looking on google

Imogene is about hour outside Omaha

is about 15 minutes away from the nearest Wal-Mart

Kids from Imogene appear to go to school https://www.greatschools.org/iowa/shenandoah/1244-Shenandoah... (which happens to be near the Wal Mart)

there does not appear to be an abandoned main street or factory in Imogene

from the article itself, unemployment is under 2%

what exactly is so terrible about life there?

--------

Imogene appears to be a small, somewhat out of the way place, and that appears to have always been the case

what exactly is so terrible about that fact?
